Bollywood Wives' Maheep Kapoor won't ever get fillers done again: ‘I looked like a clown'
Maheep Kapoor recently opened up about her experience of opting for fillers during the second season of Bollywood Wives. 'Once I did Bollywood Wives, there is magic and innocence when you do the first season because we were so raw. I didn't even know what my back side looked like. Who sees your back side? I was like, my hair, my back… I need to work out a little more. You see every angle of yourself. Suddenly, you become aware. Then that magic, it transforms into a little more pressure,' Maheep, 42, said.
So, by season two, 'I did fillers', said Maheep in a conversation with Filmfare. 'I looked like a clown. I did. It didn't suit me at all. I had to wait for it to dissolve, settle in. Now they are out of my ways. I will never ever do fillers again. I have a round face. They only suit certain faces. It is just a little bit of advice for those thinking of it. Always go to a good doctor,' added Maheep.
According to her, 'Botox is just amazing'. 'It freshens up your whole face,' said Maheep, married to actor Sanjay Kapoor.
She also differentiated between fillers and Botox. 'Fillers is like taking a pump in a flat tire, such that you are pumping. But then you can overpump and look like a balloon. Botox is like freezing, like ironing your clothes, which takes out the wrinkles. I love Botox,' shared Maheep.
During the conversation, she also underlined that she is 'not a narcissist' but 'very aware.' 'We are living in the age of social media, where people are very cruel,' said Maheep.
While age bashing is one of the 'worst' comments on social media according to her, she loves the fact that 'many consider me as their spirit animal'.
Taking a cue from her admission, let's understand the difference between the two.
Dr Anmol Chugh, consultant, Plastics and Aesthetics Centre, CK Birla Hospital, Gurgaon, shared that Botox is a commonly used injectable against wrinkles. 'It is used to treat wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes and works for three to six months,' shared Dr Chugh.
Fillers are injectables, too, but they are used to add volume in cases of issues like eye hollowness or deflated/saggy cheeks. 'It's an OPD procedure that takes 20 minutes, and the results last for 1 to 1.5 years,' shared Dr Chugh.
It is crucial to meet a certified plastic surgeon and determine the limitations, results, utility, and need of a surgical procedure for better results.

5 Bollywood actors who underwent massive physical transformations for movies
Many Bollywood actors have undergone major physical transformations for movie roles. They gain or lose weight, build muscles, or change how they look to fit the character they are playing. A lot of time, effort, and discipline go into bringing these changes. These physical changes make their roles look more real and help in better storytelling. They are proof of their dedication and love for acting. In this piece, let's take a look at some of the actors and their inspiring transformation stories. List of 5 actors with transformation stories: 1. Aamir Khan for Dangal Aamir Khan underwent a significant physical transformation to play the role of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat in the 2016 movie Dangal. First, he put on a lot of weight to look like an older, heavier man. After filming those scenes, Mr. Perfectionist worked very hard to lose the extra weight of around 28 kilos in about 5 months. He built muscles to play the younger version of the character. It took Aamir a lot of exercise and a strict diet to achieve the desired results. Dangal wasn't the only time the actor has worked on changing his body. Ghajini and 3 Idiots are other examples. 2. Ranbir Kapoor for Animal Ranbir Kapoor transformed his beach body seen in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar to a bulky and rugged one for Animal. The latter is a crime thriller that was released in 2023. Ranbir received a lot of love for his performance in the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial. The actor's trainer, Shivoham, had revealed that he went from being 71 kgs in TJMM to 82 kgs in Animal. Saluting RK's hard work and dedication, the fitness coach wrote on Instagram, 'It was all hard work over a period of 3 plus years. Nothing is ever achieved by taking shortcuts in life. Clarity and a vision of the end goal with a properly planned and structured program to reach to that goal is essential. Then again, if you don't have the WILL, DISCIPLINE, CONSISTENCY and the FIRE to achieve the goals, no amount of planning and structure will help.' 3. Kartik Aaryan for Chandu Champion In the 2024 movie Chandu Champion, Kartik Aaryan played the role of India's first Paralympics gold medalist, Murlikant Petkar. He had to work very hard to achieve the desired physique for his character. Kartik's director, Kabir Khan, shared his inspiring journey, revealing that he went from having 39 per cent body fat to 7 per cent in a year and a half. Kabir stated, 'I met him when he had put on weight for a role. He had 39 per cent body fat. I told him that he had to portray an international-level multi-disciplinary sportsperson. He just smiled and said, 'I will do it Sir.' A year and a half later, with no use of steroids - something that he was adamant about - we took this photo on set. Body fat 7 per cent!!' 4. Salman Khan for Sultan Salman Khan also underwent a significant physical transformation for his role in Sultan, portraying a wrestler. The film's director, Ali Abbas Zafar, explained in an interview with Filmfare that the transformation happened in three stages. He said, 'One point of the time he fluctuates between 78 kg and 82 kg, then he goes to 90 kg, and then he goes to almost 100 kg. The credible thing about it is that Salman Khan did it while shooting the film.' Ali revealed that the team planned the shoot in a way that they first filmed the scenes where Salman looked strong and muscular. Then, after a short break, they planned to shoot the scenes where his character looked unfit. According to the director, Salman started eating more during the break, including up to three Magnum ice creams daily, and gained weight as needed. 5.

In a video posted by Galatta India on YouTube on October 17, the actor who has made the country laugh with his performances for decades, gave a tour of his duplex home, which was the first house he bought with his own money. Also Read | Step inside Juhi Chawla husband Jai Mehta's timeless and whimsical ancestral home in Gujarat's Porbandar built in 1920s The video shows Johnny Lever giving a tour of his sea-facing house, which he bought in 1990. According to the actor, he first purchased a duplex with three bedrooms and a hall on the first floor and one hall and three bedrooms. He revealed that he first bought the top floor for ₹20 lakh, and then the floor below for ₹4 crore. '20 times badh gaya price (The price increased 20 times)!' he quipped in the clip. He first lived in Dharavi and then moved from chawls to a duplex in Lokhandwala, where he had Sridevi as his neighbour. "Pehla ghar Dharavi mein tha, chawl thi. Uske baad slums mein aaye…jhopadpatti abhi bhi hai. Mera jhopda abhi bhi hai wahan. Kisi ki shaadi hai, function hai, log aate hain, hum jaate hain (The first house was in Dharavi, it was a chawl. After that we moved to slums…the slums are still there. My hut is still there. If there is someone's wedding, there is a function, people come, we go),' he shared. The actor's house is a treasure trove of memories and also documents his personal life, accolades, and journey in Bollywood, including his engagement in 1983, the first Filmfare award he won for Best Performance in a Comic Role, for Deewana Mastana, and his wedding pictures. He also revealed that his wife designed the interiors of their house herself, adding simplicity to every corner. Additionally, while the upper floor is designed for their children, the lower one is for larger gatherings. The actor revealed that his favourite place in the house is the hall, where he spends most of his time doing his homework and watching movies and videos on various streaming channels. For the actor, the space is a treasure trove as everything is available here, along with a quote that holds a special meaning for him and means that 'a house is built with wisdom'. 'When I am very happy…I sit here,' he said. The actor stressed that he and his wife wanted their home to be simple, as they didn't want the feeling of a studio shoot in their safe space. 'Ghar toh ghar hona chahiye (A home should feel like home),' he explained.
